You can have my money when you pry it from my boring voltage regulated fingers.

>ITT: Asshurt the model S is the fastest car on the planet
lol

>>17427942
the things top speed is lower than my hyundai's. Quick would be the correct word, but even then it's not the quickest car on the planet, maybe just mass production car.

What the fuck am I watching?? Why are people just standing on the side of the road filming this shit?

Driving mustang for years, never lost control like this and I gun it a lot

Built suspension, welded subrame, sticky tires and proper control

How the fuck does every other mustang driver always seem to lose control?

>>17427655
Mustang is a popular car, idiot normies buy it for image, never learn to drive properly.

Anyone have experience with this car at this amount of miles?

if its from a dealer dont be a cuck and make sure you get it for at most 7k, you can definetly get it for that price just dont accept anytthing higher, it doesnt matter if you go full autismo they will sell for that price

>>17427577
Do you know when the engines start to get shitty tho?

>>17427409
Any reason why?

Right now I have a mk6 GTI for a second car and I'm moving to a place with only 1 parking spot. The CTS-V doesn't work well for me as an only car and the mk6 gti is too boring for an only car.
The CTS was a pretty awesome car though and I will definitely miss it. Focus RS is a ton of fun too though, at least so far.

>>17427437
I'm guessing the CTS sedan wasn't an option?

>>17427359
It has no set definition. An owner can call any car of theirs a shitbox here as a joke. A car can be a legitimate shitbox, being rusty, cheap, in need of other repairs, etc. A car made to be cheap a to b transportation like the Micra can be called a shitbox.

any car older than oh say 10 years is a shitbox

>>17427396
ueber shill bls go

New car vs used car. A lot of people, myself included, like knowing the car was taken care of from day 1, and you can always get the exact color you want. I'd be buying a BRZ in the future if the 818 didn't have my heart.

Because most people, when they buy a car, buy at the very top of their budget and have these perfect utopian visions of their car never having problems and they'll keep it for at least 10 years and it's the perfect car.

Then, when they need some work after like, year 3, and the BMW work is a big bill, they flip shit and blame the dealer and the sales guy and the manufacturer and the porter and the car wash guy and the cashier and whoever just because they actually can't afford to own a BMW and they just bought at the absolute top of their budget.

This thread is aimed at Americans.

At street legal speeds, nothing.

They're just as effective for cars as they are for chickens

factory stock wings normally don't do anything but create drag, lowering your fuel efficiency

aftermarket wings that haven't been tuned to your car in a wind tunnel also do nothing

Wings that have been tuned to your car in a wind tunnel create downforce which you wont need unless you race or drive at illegals speeds on public roads.

>>17426742
Depends on the miles and condition.
Don't spend more than $10k though.

>>17426742
i wouldn't. i'd buy a 3k civic or get something better for that price.

hate the scene not the car

if you ignore the drivetrain, theyre essentially what a maserati wishes it could be

Shit tier built quality, poor handling, low top speed, heavy, the wet dream of every shit tier teacher who couldn't become a professor, not to mention the wet dream of treehuggers who are afraid of driving

gee

It's a piece of shit. It's a very fast piece of shit, but a piece of shit. If you want performance and don't care about the "quality" in any sense of the word, an SRT4 was faster than any of its competitors at the time. The Cobalt SS Turbo is the same way: garbage, but one of the fastest FWD cars you can buy with *very* tough engine block.

>>17426407
Taking a wild guess here, but I'd go ahead and assume it's not recommended because it's not a fucking hatch?

probably because its not a hatch
